The Weather.

[Chryssie]

We had heat advisories all week with the heat indexes in the 100+ ranges. My Iowa friend posted that a town up there had the hottest heat index in the country the other day with 117F! OMG!! 90's are typical for Florida this time of year but it has been mid to upper 90's instead of low 90's which makes the heat indexes dangerous! I don't know how the outside workers survive!

It's just lovely here.

That’s so bizarre... only 40% humidity? Ours is supposedly low too. I thought the whole point of heat indexes was that the humidity was going to be very high.

We are currently at 97.

A thunderstorm just came through here so it has cooled down about 20 degrees! Dropped from 90 down to 74! 94% humidity though, but it was raining.

 

[shyvas]

It's hot.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I would hate that type of heat!

It's still humid and muggy here.

 

[Poppy]

Today is supposed to be the last of this awful heat wave. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70s and then the mid-80s for the rest of the week.

 

[Moll Flanders]

It feels really hot today.

 

[shyvas]

It's going to be 36°C for the next four days. Only London will beat our heat with 38°C this coming Thursday.

It was chilly, windy and rainy when i was leaving the house. And i put on the jumper. Now it's 24°C, but due to the humidity, it feels like 32-33°C. I've been to the city center and walked along dusty streets with hot stone pavements under the scorching sun,- and there is no chance to find a shade, until you reach your destination point. People who are caught in the city center during the heat, say that they are in a "stone sack". Thank god (and Sumerian gods), that i have clear blood vessels... Otherwise one can fall down, hit by a stroke or heart attack in such a heat and humidity.

Well, it's quite hot around here today. 34°C according to BBC.

When I went for my lunch time walk there were some small, scattered fluffy clouds that occasionally made it less hot than it could have been.

 

[PTree15]

It's quite pleasant today: sunny skies and low humidity. This is a welcome change from the past week or so.

 

[KLS52]

Gorgeous day today!

 

[silva]

It's been lovely in Cleveland this week - workdays that is!
I think this weekends getting in the high 80's, which will be nice if the humidity stays low

 

[shyvas]

It's going to be 31 °C with rain/thunder tomorrow and overcast on Sunday with temps. at around 27 °C.

 

[shyvas]

Another stifling day with a temp. of 36°C.

I'm off to the Luberon to spend the day with a friend.

 

[Moll Flanders]

24°C here today. I don't mind these types of temps.

 

[KLS52]

We had gorgeous weather at the Cape.

 

[PTree15]

We had three harrowing hours of crazy weather today that included two tornado warnings. I actually spent half an hour in the basement until the warnings expired. The news said my town was one of the hardest hit. There were numerous trees that fell onto cars and houses. I am fortunate that nothing happened on my street. But there was damage less than 2 miles away. It was frightening. Lots of thunder, lightning and wind gusts. Our town registered more than 3 inches of rain, which is typically what falls in a month. The power went out briefly at my house, but some people were out for hours. We aren't used to tornado warnings around these parts. Trees even fell on Main Street, which was nuts.

It's not as hot as it has been lately.

I'm ready for Autumn now.

Scary.
